  • Reversing sequence or series of stills in a timeline

    Posted by Lars Hansen on January 14, 2012 at 2:59 am

    Using SVP (11), is there a way to reverse a sequence or series of stills in a timeline. For example, if 100 images line up as 1,2,3,4 …100; how can I change the order to 100, 99, 98, 97 …1?

    Tried grouping but that didn’t work. Setting up as a seperate project and bring into current project as a veg file won’t work either as it won’t allow me to edit individual images after reversal…

    Any ideas?

    Great forum by the way.

    Thanks very much in advance! LDC

    Use the velocity envelope and set it to -100 (i.e. reverse/backwards).

    The easiest way to do this is to use scripts.
    For example, Vegasaur allows you do this with one click

    Thanks for the feedback Aleksey & Mike. Unfortunately neither of these suggestions works for me in my situation.

    Another approach I have tried unsuccessfully is to pull the batch of photos from the project media folder into the timeline in reverse order, but again could not find a way to do this. Seems doable? Is there a way?

    Still searching for ideas/solutions…

    Thanks all, LDC.

    lars, since neither of our suggestions worked for you, I’m curious as to what exactly what it is that you’re trying to accomplish.

    I’ll try to render all the pictures in the normal order, then with the clip created, put in on your timeline, right click on your clip, choose invert and voila!

    Hope this helps!
